Chapter 3355 Extra Strong Sister 9
Bai Shan leaned over the table and said, "I'm just curious. Let's not talk about how you changed her personality. Let's talk about her interest in medicine. How did you get her interested? I remember that she was reluctant to study medicine with you for the first two years."
Zhou Man said, "I'm also surprised. Actually, she doesn't have a strong desire for medicine. I thought I could just let her learn some basic treatment methods and know how to protect herself and those around her. Who knew she would study so hard after returning this time? Could she be scared by the epidemic in Yunzhou?"
Bai Shan smiled slightly and said, "That's good too. Otherwise, it would be a shame if your medical skills were not inherited by anyone."
Zhou Man shook his head. "What's so regrettable? There are so many students in the Imperial Medical Bureau, and I teach them all."
Zhou Man doesn't force anything on his three children. "It's up to them. As for me, I only ask them to know some basic medical knowledge so that they can protect themselves and those around them when they go out. As for the rest, I'll let fate take its course."
Bai Shan hugged her, rested his chin on her shoulder and whispered, "But I regret that your amazing medical skills have been passed on to outsiders, and no one in your family has learned them."
"Hey, everyone is a human being for the first time, and everyone has the right to choose. Don't think that just because you're a father you can force others to do things they don't like." Zhou Man said nonchalantly, "As for fame, I have it all now. Not only is my name known throughout the world, but I also have students all over the world. Most of the textbooks used by the Imperial Medical Bureau are my own. Even the pharmacies and clinics outside use the medical books I wrote when teaching medicine. My medical skills have long been known throughout the world. What else can I be dissatisfied with?"
Bai Shan couldn't help but hug her tightly. "You are really open-minded. But Jingxing has been sensible recently. What do you think I should reward her with?"
Zhou Man tilted his head in thought, "Horse?"
She smiled and said, "This time when I was returning to Beijing, I rode a horse for a while. I saw her eyes shining as she stared at me riding. She is ten years old now, and it's time for her to have her own pony."
When Bai Shan heard this, he took Bai Jingxing to the horse farm during his ten-day break. Finally, through Zhao Liulang's connections, he bought a foal with the bloodline of the Arabian horse.
It is said that this horse's grandmother was half Arabian horse.
Although it has been diluted a lot in this generation, it still looks very beautiful, red like fire, with sharp eyes and very energetic.
This was something Zhao Liulang had gotten through Duke Zhao's connections. He didn't dare bring it back home, nor did he dare leave it at the stables for too long. Seeing Bai Shan, he hurried over, grabbed him, and left, "Hurry, hurry! If my brothers hear the news and come here, I'm afraid we won't be able to keep this horse."
Bai Shan: "Don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped. Besides Lord Zhou, even Bai Er doesn't know that I came to you to watch the horses."
"Who said Bai Er doesn't know? He knows!"
Bai Shan turned his head and looked at Zhao Liulang.
Zhao Liulang scratched his lips and said, "My fault, I spoke too hastily. Anyway, let's go and see it first."
He then looked at Bai Jingxing, who was standing on the other side of Bai Shan, and said with a smile, "Niece, I guarantee that you will like this horse after you see it. I have seen so many horses over the years, and there is no better one than this one. I am afraid that your brother will not be able to choose such a good horse when he chooses a horse."
Bai Jingxing was also a little excited, "Really?"
"real!"
Zhao Liulang said it with certainty.
This BMW, which is said to be the descendant of the Ferghana horse, really lived up to Zhao Liulang's praise and is indeed a majestic horse.
Bai Jingxing couldn't take his eyes away.
Bai Shan also took one look and nodded, "Good horse!"
Sometimes you don’t need to appreciate a good horse carefully, you can tell its quality at a glance.
He looked at his daughter and asked with a smile, "Do you want it?"
Bai Jingxing nodded repeatedly.
Bai Shan looked at Zhao Liulang.
Zhao Liulang's face was filled with smiles, and he put his arm around Bai Shan's shoulders and said, "You and I are good brothers. I don't ask for much from you. Just give me the same amount as I paid for it."
Bai Shan shook his head and laughed, "How can this be the same? You've even put in a lot of favors."
It must have taken a lot of manpower and resources for Zhao Liulang to find such a good horse and transport it safely to the capital.
"Tsk, after all these years, it's rare that you guys have needed me. You've always been the ones taking care of me."
Zhao Liulang is now serving in the Imperial Guards. After so many years, he has only reached the sixth rank. He knows his own abilities. He was promoted to the sixth rank not because of his merits, but because he is the emperor's cousin and was once a student of Chongwenguan, and was the emperor's companion.
He estimated that his next promotion would be when the emperor ascended to heaven, and his cousins, who had a good relationship with him, would have to ascend the throne.
He didn't have any big ambitions in his official career. He just wanted to eat well, have fun and be happy.
So he is not very interested in power, he is more interested in money.
But the emperor and his father had him imprisoned in the imperial guards. How could there be any chance to make a fortune in the imperial guards?
The reason why he was able to support his family and have good food and fun over the years was mostly due to his business with Zhou Silang.
Zhou Man has already held a high position, so why did Zhou Silang still take him around all these years?
Isn’t it because of the relationship between Bai Shan and Zhou Man?
Zhao Liulang was very clear about this, but neither of them was a money-loving person. He also believed that their friendship was as pure as water, so he never gave them lavish gifts.
Bai Shan couldn't help but ask, "So this isn't a gentleman's friendship?"
"Alas, a gentleman's friendship doesn't have to concern himself with money."
Bai Shan couldn't help laughing when he heard this. After paying the money, he let his daughter take the BMW home. However, during the Chinese New Year, he still gave Zhao Liulang a New Year gift.
Four papermaking recipes, two of which are soft and two are hard for writing.
Zhao Liulang was stunned when he received the prescription. He didn't care that it was New Year's Day and went straight to the door. "You gave me these, does Mingda know?"
As far as he knew, these papers were currently only available at Mingda Paper Mill. Two of the softer types had just replaced bamboo chips and cotton silk in the past two years and became the most popular items in the locker room.
It is said that the cost is also very cheap, so you can buy a large stack for five cents, which is enough for a family of five to use for two months.
"I know," Bai Shan said with a faint smile, "I mentioned it to the princess, and she agreed to give it to you."
At the beginning, the paper mill used the recipes that Bai Shan copied from the book. Later, Bai Shan looked through the books that Zhou Man brought out and found that some papers were glossed over, with only sporadic mention of some methods and materials. However, judging from the uses, they seemed to be very wide-ranging, so he began to think about it in his spare time and gave the recipes he figured out to the craftsmen in the paper mill for continuous testing.
Only then did they slowly produce so much paper.
Because of their paper mill, paper on the market is now much cheaper. Perhaps no one noticed it at first, but now, the paper mill and Mingda Bookstore account for almost one-third of the market share in Dajin, and they have probably become a thorn in people's eyes.
